It was the battle of the abbreviations in WERA National Endurance action at Road Atlanta in the early 1990s. Here BMH Racing (41) battles with RKN Racing (77). BMH was on a Yamaha FZ600 while RKN raced a Yamaha FZ400. RKN was racing for the lead in the Mediumweight Superbike class when a broken throttle cable took them out of contention. RKN Racing went on to win the Lightweight class. Pictured on RKN is Fabian Cortez. Not sure who is riding BMH’s bike. (Larry Lawrence photo)

I’m heading to Springfield for the Springfield Short Track and Mile doubleheader Labor Day weekend. This is the traditional Springfield weekend that once determined the AMA Grand National Champion. To this day it’s one of the premier weekends in American motorcycle racing.

My buddy Mike Stuhler has a nice preview on his bog.
